Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A real-time-capable host system comprising a plurality of cores, wherein each of the cores is configured to execute a real-time process and a core-local timer, wherein a real-time domain associated with real-time-capable system is set up when a real-time-capable system is started by an associated real-time process, provided that the associated real-time process is the first real-time process started on a corresponding core of the real-time-capable host system, and wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to shut down the real-time domain when a last real-time process processed on the corresponding core terminates.

2

2. The real-time-capable host system of claim 1 , wherein an inter-processor interrupt is sent from one core to another core so as to enable a function to be executed by the one core is executed by the other core.

3

3. The real-time-capable host system of claim 1 , wherein the core-local timers in each of the cores enable core-local signaling paths to be used for time management.

4

4. The real-time-capable host system of claim 1 , wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to enable process-specific management of data structures.

5

5. The real-time-capable host system of claim 1 , wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to prevent a real-time process running on one of the plurality of cores from migrating to another one of the plurality of cores.

6

6. A method for operating a real-time-capable host system comprising a plurality of cores and a real-time extension, the method comprising: operating one real-time process in each core of the plurality of cores; and operating one core-local timer in each core of the plurality of cores, wherein a real-time domain associated with real-time-capable system is set up when a real-time-capable system is started by an associated real-time process, provided that the associated real-time process is the first real-time process started on a corresponding core of the real-time-capable host system, and wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to shut down the real-time domain when a last real-time process processed on the corresponding core terminates.

7

7. A computer program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein when the computer program is read into a memory of a real-time-capable host system comprising a plurality of cores and a real-time extension and executed by a processor of the real-time-capable host system, the computer program causes the real-time-capable host system to operate one real-time process in each core of the plurality of cores; and operate one core-local timer in each core of the plurality of cores, wherein a real-time domain associated with real-time-capable system is set up when a real-time-capable system is started by an associated real-time process, provided that the associated real-time process is the first real-time process started on a corresponding core of the real-time-capable host system, and wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to shut down the real-time domain when a last real-time process processed on the corresponding core terminates.

8

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein when the computer program is read into a memory of a real-time-capable host system comprising a plurality of cores and a real-time extension and executed by a processor of the real-time-capable host system, the computer program causes the real-time-capable host system to operate one real-time process in each core of the plurality of cores; and operate one core-local timer in each core of the plurality of cores, wherein a real-time domain associated with real-time-capable system is set up when a real-time-capable system is started by an associated real-time process, provided that the associated real-time process is the first real-time process started on a corresponding core of the real-time-capable host system, and wherein the real-time-capable host system is configured to shut down the real-time domain when a last real-time process processed on the corresponding core terminates.
